Was there a Scottish commentator yelling “Hans Christian Andersen, Karen Blixen, Søren Kierkegaard, Niels Bohr, Lars von Trier, King Frederik, can you hear us, your guys took a hell of a beating!!!”?

I was at university and in the TV rooms (yes, an ancient concept) we were all watching it, as we’d watched every episode. And we all left in silence. That episode hit so hard.

In French classes we were sometimes allowed to read a Petit Nicolas story as a treat (well, I thought of it as a treat!)

Which one has pockets? That’s my choice.

We sang that too! I can’t now remember whether the advert or the assembly hymn came first in my timeline.

“Milk Bottle Tops and Paper Bags”? We sang that in the 1970s on a similar theme though I don’t remember the tune being familiar from elsewhere.

It was long past my primary school days but I think I remember reading that a vicar had written a hymn to the tune which began “Oh how great is God above” after Anita Dobson’s “Anyone can fall in love” was in the charts. The tune was all over the place so other hymn variants are very likely.

But we women are working on our solar energy strategy. It’ll only take man a century or so to take notice.

As an 80s kid I still can’t bring myself to watch any nuclear holocaust based drama. It was my all-consuming teenage nightmare. I’d be doing my evening paper round & wondering whether if the 4-minute warning went off I’d be able to get home in time to die with my family.

The new Monster of Glamis?

No, he said Mulligan was a tenant farmer unlike the Brookfield Archers. There’s clearly a serious farming storyline going on here but I fear it’s going to be subverted into an unlikely romance for Josh storyline.

Cook had done her work violently and with no time for satisfactory results although everyone knew that Mrs Beeton required everything to be boiled for at least an hour. Those vegetables were almost recognisable - the horror!

And another colleague is offering an 'Alphabet Adventure' for children the same day! leedscityoflanguages.leeds.ac.uk/events/an-al...

No, Letitia, this is not a bustle, it’s my actual backside after I failed to trust to diet and exercise. Let that be a warning to you.
